Rubric This is the Cambridge Preliminary English Test, sample paper 1. There are four parts to the test. You will hear each part twice. For each part of the test there will be time for you to look through the questions and time for you to check your answers. Write your answers on the question paper. You will have six minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers on to the answer sheet. The recording will now be stopped. Please ask any questions now, because you must not speak during the test. Pause 5 seconds Now open your question paper and look at part 1. There are seven questions in this part. For each question there are three pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it. Rubric Before we start, here is an example. Where did the man leave his camera? Oh no! I havent got my camera! Rubric Man

Repeat Pause 5 seconds Rubric Man 2: What did the man buy? I got most of the shopping. I got the last loaf of bread and some milk, but Im afraid there werent any newspapers left.

Woman But what about the stamps? Man Ah I forgot. Ill go back for them.

Woman Oh dont worry, Ill go. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again. Repeat Pause 5 seconds 3: How can people travel today? (forecaster) ... and last nights heavy snow storm has made all main roads in the area too dangerous to use. However, the trains are still working normally. But, the airport is closed until tomorrow morning and all ferries are cancelled. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again Repeat Pause 5 seconds Rubric 4: What is the date of the wedding anniversary?

Man

Woman But you used it just now to take a photograph of the fountain. Man Oh I remember, I put it down on the steps while I put my coat on.

Woman Well, lets drive back quickly it might still be there. Pause 5 seconds Rubric The first picture is correct so there is a tick in box A. Look at the three pictures for question 1 now. Pause 5 seconds Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice. Rubric 1: What does the man receive in the post?

Woman Its Tom and Paulas 25th wedding anniversary this weekend. The actual day is the 26th, but theyre having the party on the Saturday, which is the 24th, but whats a couple of days after all those years? Man Paula looks so young but I suppose she was quite young when she married?

Woman Here we are John, lots of post for you today. These letters are all for you, and theres a postcard, too. Man Oh, is that all? Im waiting for a parcel from Canada. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again.

Woman Paula? She was 24. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again Repeat Pause 5 seconds

5: What musical instruments does the family have now?

You will hear someone reviewing tonights television programmes. For each question, put a tick in the correct box. You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for part 2. Pause 45 seconds Rubric Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice.

Woman Does Marianne still play the piano? Man Yes, shes got it in her room. Its Bob Im worried about, he really wants to play the drums. If he wants to be a pop star the guitar would be OK, but weve said drums are just too noisy. And to think we spent all that money on a flute and hes hardly used it. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again. Repeat Pause 5 seconds Rubric 6: Whats the weather like in the mountains? At eight p.m. you can see An insects life, an hourlong film full of wonderful close-up photography. It seems the main problem with being an insect is that everyone else wants to eat you - including other insects! This programme is great fun, but if youre the sort of person who runs out of the room the moment you see an insect, its definitely not for you. After the news at nine-thirty on BBC1 theres Miller and Edwards. The two comedians have saved a lot of their best jokes for this special programme which is the last of the present series. Tonights show lasts an hour instead of the usual half hour. Miller and Edwards are joined by famous actor, Giles Welby, who plays an angry motorist in one scene. Now, fans of ITVs Policewatch drama series will have to wait a little longer to find out what happens to Andy McKay, the Scottish detective who always seems to have a cold. The programme will not be shown tonight because the European Cup football match is on instead. But Policewatch will be back next Thursday as usual. Beginning tonight is Stardate 3000, an American science fiction series. Its been on television in the USA for the last two months and comments on the show have been mixed. It certainly has some fine actors, but there is a limit to how much a director can do with stories as weak as these. Im sure Ive seen most of the scenery before in other shows from the same studio. Perhaps some of the money they saved on the scenery should be spent on getting some better writers! Also starting a new series tonight is Doctors in Town, the medical drama series filmed in the heart of London. The big question is: will this show still be popular now that the two main actors have left to do other work? John Tweed, who played Doctor Walker, is now directing films, while Annie Thomas, who played Nurse Jane Evans, has returned home to the Australian stage. But I am sure the new actors

Woman ... and finally on TV Diary a word about some of the programmes on your screens tonight.

[Radio race commentator] Man ... and I can see the leading cyclists coming towards me now. They look extremely hot and tired. Even without snow to make things dangerous, its hard work cycling in these mountains. But the cloudy sky means weather conditions here today are perfect for racing. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again. Repeat Pause 5 seconds Rubric 7: How did the woman learn about the fire?

[Couple at home] Woman Have you heard? Theres been a fire in the old paper factory. Man Are you sure? Theres nothing in the newspaper about it.

Woman I just saw it on the 6 oclock news. Turn on the radio and you might hear something about it there. Man Ill phone Bob. He always knows whats going on. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again. Rubric That is the end of part one. Pause 10 seconds Rubric Now turn to part two, questions 8 to 13.

are excellent, making this an enjoyable start to the series. Dont forget that, from tomorrow, TV Diary is going to be at six-thirty p.m. instead of eight-thirty for three weeks because of the tennis competitions. When the competitions finish at the start of July, well be back at our usual time. So, thanks for listening ....[fade] Pause 5 seconds Rubric Now listen again. Repeat Rubric That is the end of part 2. Pause 10 seconds Rubric Now turn to part 3, questions 1419. You will hear a tour guide talking to some new guests at their hotel. For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space. You now have 20 seconds to look at part 3. Pause 20 seconds Rubric Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Riverside Hotel. My name is Peter Smith and I am your tour guide. You can usually find me in the office which is opposite the reception desk. If you have any problems, please come and see me. Rubric Now, Id like to tell you about arrangements for meals and other hotel facilities. Breakfast is available in the Green Room from 7.00 a.m. to 9.00 a.m. This is on the first floor of the hotel, next to the lifts. Breakfast is the only meal which is selfservice. For lunch, we can provide sandwiches for you to take on your trips. You need to tell your waitress at dinner each evening what you would like. They will be ready for you to collect at 9 a.m. from the kitchen before you leave on your trip. Evening meals are served from 7.00 until 9.00 p.m. in the restaurant. It has an excellent view of the river and is well-known for its fish dishes. All your evening meals will be here in the hotel except for Saturday when we have organised a special riverboat trip for you. On that day you will have dinner on board. Bed, breakfast and evening meal are included in the Rubric Rubric

cost of your holiday but lunch is an extra charge. Theres no charge for anything else the trips are all included. Finally, the hotel swimming pool. All guests are free to use it from when it opens at 6.30, until it closes at 10 at night. But before 8.30 in the morning and after 7.30 in the evening you need to collect a key from reception. The rest of the time a member of the staff is there. Well, thats all I have to say for now. Ill see you at dinner later. Pause 5 seconds Now listen again. Repeat That is the end of part 3. Pause 10 seconds Rubric Now turn to part four, questions 2025. Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a girl, Lucy and a boy, Edward about pocket money. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for YES. If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for NO. You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for part 4. Pause 20 seconds Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Are you OK, Lucy? You dont look very happy. Oh Edward. Ive argued with my Mum again. Im always complaining about not getting enough pocket money. How much do you get? Five pounds a week. That sounds reasonable to me. Well, I am fourteen and if youre going into town shopping, you can never have enough money because everythings so expensive. But is it a fair amount of money compared to what your friends get? Well, we all get the same but you cant compare

Boy

Yes, but dont complain and get angry - just discuss it calmly as you have with me. OK, thanks. Thats all right. Let me know how you get on. Pause 5 seconds

Girl Boy

Not really. Rubric So, you dont have to do anything for this pocket money? I keep asking my mum to pay me to do things for her round the house. Then I could buy clothes with the extra money and spend my pocket money on things for school. Well, that would be good for both of you but I can see why your Mums not keen because youd never have time to do your school work. But, has your Mum said to you, you can have more next year when youre 15? Well, Mum just says shell decide when Im ready to have more and Ive just got to wait. Well, perhaps your Mum thinks its a question of being grown up. Maybe you should sit down with her and say, What signs are you looking for, how can I prove that Im old enough to get more? So I should talk to her again? Rubric Now listen again. Repeat That is the end of part 4. Pause 10 seconds You now have six minutes to check and copy your answers onto the answer sheet. Pause 5 minutes [Ping] You have one more minute. Pause 1 minute [Ping] Rubric That is the end of the test.

Now listen again.

Woman I cant believe it. I wrote down my friends address in my notebook... I had it right here... right next to the phone and now I cant find it anywhere. Man What did you do when youd finished the phone call? Did you put it in a bag or something?

Woman Im Lucy Holmes and Im here today to tell you about my work. People ask me why I decided to start a new magazine. Well, Ive been a journalist for many years working for newspapers and magazines in this country and abroad. Ive always dreamt of starting my own magazine, not because I want to be rich but because I want to do something different. And now Ive done it! It is different from other magazines and Im sure its going to be successful. So whats the magazine like? I should explain that its a local magazine that will come out each Thursday its the same size as the local weekly newspaper and in fact looks very similar, but it doesnt carry news and it doesnt report on events as they happen. I think this is the important difference. You can buy it in all the usual places you would buy your local newspaper. The magazine itself is divided into two main parts; the first half is a whats on guide which contains information about everything thats happening in

Woman I went upstairs to my bedroom but Ive looked... oh of course, my jacket. I took it off in the lounge before I went upstairs. Itll be in the pocket. Pause 5 seconds Rubric Now listen again. Repeat Pause 5 seconds Rubric 7: What will the man return to the library?

the city over a seven-day period. There are music and film reviews, and information about special events, so you can decide whats worth spending your time on. And its also got local bus timetables and useful phone numbers. There are also reports on restaurants. But were not going to write only good things about the restaurants we choose, because these are not advertisements. They are the honest opinions of our journalists. Thats a strength of this magazine, the writers are all independent journalists who say what they think. Thats one half of the magazine, the other half is the articles. We want to write about the lives of local people. They may be famous or not but they have all done something interesting such as developing a new business. There are several famous artists in the city, like Lisa Goodchild who has talked to us about her life in the first issue. We hope to interview a wide variety of people. [pause] Im really happy because there are some fantastic journalists living in the area, many of them busy writing for national papers, and theyre supporting the new magazine by writing for it. The journalists are happy because the magazine has room for longer articles so they have more space to give their opinions. So, anyone whos interested in .......[fade] Pause 5 seconds Rubric Now listen again. Repeat

understand that some of you are keen to visit us. We opened the centre six years ago and organise holidays for people of all levels of experience. Let me tell you about a normal days programme. Youll probably be pleased to know we dont make you get up too early! After breakfast at 8.30 we begin at about 10 oclock by getting the horses ready. You need to make sure you have the right equipment before the ride begins at about 11.30. For the first few miles we go quite slowly, breaking for about an hour at midday, near a beach or lake where you can swim or sunbathe. We arrive back at the Centre at about 4 oclock. Everyone has to wear a hard hat and these are available free of charge at the Centre. Trainers are no good for riding, Im afraid. Strong shoes or boots with a small heel are best. Warm clothes such as jeans and sweater, some swimwear and a small shoulder bag for carrying a packed lunch, are useful. All our accommodation is in double rooms with bathrooms. We have a television room and a games room and there is a safe area in the garden for children to play in. In the local area there are lots of things to see and do. Both golf and fishing are available and there is an excellent museum not far away. And now for the price. Well, a four-day holiday is 292 per person and that includes the riding, the equipment, the accommodation and all food. If you have any questions, Ill be happy to answer them now. Thank you.
